[QUOTE="trash80, post: 295959, member: 7578"] You should pay attention to the history of Zen Studios for possible future guidance. Do you remember the FX2 to FX3 transition? While they use official polls and direct user and sales feedback to dictate their path forward, Zen's business and development cycle is 18+ months out, and many of the issues that customers have with Zen are related to things that have many moving parts and with third parties involved. Getting things to change AFTER they have been announced is not going to happen. Censorship on Consoles Football (Soccer) Table Various licenses etc... Maybe Zen has been listening to all of the internet forum feedback and this is why we are getting a new Pinball FX sooner rather than later, including all of the warts that may come with the new platform. Here is an example of user feedback getting us to where we are today. People repeatedly asked for the Williams physics to be applied to all the other Zen tables in FX3. Zen gave us a response that it was something they would like to do. Zen then gave us a response that it was a whole lot more work than initially thought but that they are working on it. Zen is now implying that the new Pinball FX game and engine being used will facilitate the Williams physics being applied to the Original Zen tables. But if we break this down... the consumers are still not getting what they asked for, that all of the FX3 tables have Williams physics. Instead we are getting a completely brand new game with completely new physics across the board, and all of the tables that will carry over will be updated and remastered. FX3 will remain in the state that it is in and I guess we will just have to wait and see how these new physics play in the new FX. Your examples don't really apply. An internet mob got Microsoft to reverse a decision to make a $1 dollar per month increase to the price of Xbox Gold? There is no comparison here. The physical media trading (reselling) is protected by both US and EU laws. Again, no comparison here. [/QUOTE]
